(Last time on MoonBall)
"Father! I found it," a voice says. It didn't sound familiar. I hear another voice, only deeper. "It's just a girl.
Leave it, boy. Come on! Your training isn't even half over. " I could feel nothing. My body felt like it wasn't there. I
hear silence. Then, the deep voice rings in my head again. "Fine. What are we going to do with her?" The voices fade away,
but I knew they were still standing near me. I black out completely.

Chapter Two: New World
By: Lex and Whitney
I opened my eyes just to see blue all around me and I felt something over my mouth. It took me a while to figure out
that the blue substance was water and then I figured that the thing over my mouth was allowing me to breath. My mind then
registered something... I was in water... With something over my mouth... I then started to somewhat panic. Where was I? What
the hell was I doing floating in water? I pulled my hand up and put it in front of me. It hit glass... I then moved my head
towards the glass and squinted with my eyes, trying to see what was outside my hold. Every thing was in a sort of blue haze,
thanks to the water. From what I could make out, there were two beds and a counter occupied by various things. I tried to
look closer, putting my face completely up against the glass. And before I knew it, the water was being drained and the
glass in front of me went up, like a door. I hadn't had time to think about stopping myself from falling, for it had all
happened too fast. The next thing I knew, I was kneeling on cold marble floor.
My golden hair was now clinging to me, and my clothes that I had been wearing were like a second skin. Still
semi-laying on the floor I lifted my head to examine what kind of room I was in. I now could see the things that were on the
counter clearly; there were needles and peroxide, and other health things. I came to the conclusion that I must be in some
sort of hospital room. I then lifted myself from the floor, water droplets falling from my hair as well, as my soaked
clothes. I shivered and looked around for a towel. I spotted one and walked over to it. I grabbed it and rapped it around my
petite body. It warmed me a little but with me still wearing my "second" skin clothes, I was still cold. Then I heard a
noise from behind me. I whirled around to see a woman with aqua hair. Immediately I put up my guard. After all, I didn't
know if she was friend or foe. "Who are you?" I said in the most demanding voice I could muster up.
"I'm Bulma, or otherwise known as Mrs. Briefs," She said while smiling. I was confused by her friendly manner. Did
it mean she was a friend? "I'm glad to see that you're better. When we put you in the regeneration tank you scratched up
pretty good."
"Regeneration tank?" I asked confused.
"Why, yes. The tank that you see right over there." She then pointed to the thing that I had earlier been in. 'So,
that's what I was in...' I thought. She smiled at me again and then walked over to me. She took the towel from around my
shoulders and put it back on the counter. "We should get you some dry clothes, Oh, I'm sorry child. I forgot to ask you what
your name was." I looked at her and I decided she seemed pretty nice.
"My name is Serena."
"Really? I like that name. Well, I guess we should go and get you some dry clothes then Serena." She then started to
walk towards the door. She stopped and turned around when she noticed that I wasn't following her. As soon as she turned
around I saw someone else appear in the doorway, well, perhaps I should say, I saw him run into the doorframe. I raised an
eyebrow and tried not to laugh at the expression on his face. He looked a bit dazed and his face was tinted red from
embarrassment. Mrs. Briefs turned around to look at the newcomer. I wondered who he was, he was kind of cute. With lavender
hair and blue eyes, muscular build... "Trunks, what do you think your doing?" She asked in an annoyed manner. This boy named
Trunks looked like he was about to reply when he looked around Mrs. Briefs and saw me. When his eyes locked onto my body,
his jaw practically dropped. I could feel his eyes roaming over my body, and my cheeks flushed with embarrassment. But I
knew why he was staring, it was probably because as I said before, my clothes were clinging to me like a second skin and my
hair had come slightly out of it's orgando style. Small pieces of golden hair framed my face and in the moment I guess you
could say that I looked somewhat like an angel. Mrs. Briefs followed were Trunks line of sight was and when she saw what he
was looking at, she gave a frustrated sigh and then smacked the boy Trunks lightly on the head. His attention quickly left
me and went to Mrs. Briefs.
"What did you do that for Mom?" 'Mom? Is this Mrs. Brief's son?'
"You should know why Trunks," She said in a huff. "Anyway, Trunks this is Serena, Serena this is my son, Trunks."
"Nice to meet you." I said.
"Likewise." He responded.
Mrs. Briefs motions for me. "Come on, Serena. Lets go get you those dry clothes." I nod and follow her out of the
room. As I walk past Trunks I see his eyes follow me. Not wanting to start anything, I look away.
We enter her room and she walks over to a drawer. "Pick out what you think you want to wear for today. Maybe we can
go shopping for some clothes of your own tomorrow." She opens the drawer and walk out of the room.I search through her
selection, finding some odd clothes and some pretty neat ones. Some of the shirts had Capsule Corp. written on them. I guess
Capsule Corp. is her company. I find a satisfactory shirt and pants. I change out of my wet clothes and put on the ones I
had picked out from Mrs. Briefs.
Noises from outside draw my attention to the window. I look down to find a capsule in the yard. It shakes as if
someone is inside. Circular windows surround it and I can see flashes of light every few seconds. I walk out of the room and
find my way out of the house. I follow the noises to the back yard and find the round capsule. It continues to shake and the
flashes continue also. I walk up to it slowly and peek in one of the windows. Another flash brightens the room and as soon
as it dies down, I peer in. A guy with blond hair that, not to sound funny, seems to "stand on end". A golden fire burns
around him. His fists fly faster than I can watch. Kicks and punches to the air.
'What is he doing?' I ask myself. Suddenly, he flies to the top of the capsule and continues the kicks and punches.
How the hell can he fly? And why is he in this thing in the first place. I'm also wondering who he is. His hands
fly together and a ball of light quickly forms between them. A bolt of lightning circles his body and the mass of light grows
bigger. He lets it go and it strikes the tiled floor of the capsule. The ground shakes and I stumble backward. Someone's
hands grab my shoulders to steady me. Startled, I move forward and turn around. A boy, about the age of Trunks, and cute
too, stands in front of me.
His black hair standing sideways, he smiles at me. "Sorry to scare you." I stare, bewildered, at him. Scare me? Oh,
no. He didn't scare me. He just god damned freaked me out! That's all!
"I'm Goten. Trunks's brother."
"Brother?" I ask.
"No. I'm kiddin'. I'm just a friend." He laughs a bit. "And you are?"
I figure if he's a friend of Mrs. Briefs's son, I guess I can trust him. "Serena," I say, still looking at him.
He looks back at me. "What? Something wrong with my hair?" He messes up his own hair. I laugh, but shake my head.
"Oh. Then I didn't have to do that?" Still laughing a bit, I shake my head again.
Trunks rounds a corner of the house, "Goten! Come on! My father doesn't like anyone to bother him while he's
training..." His sentence trails off when he notices me. "How'd you get out here, Serena?"
I point to the capsule. "Followed the noises from that thing.
"I see you met Goten." I nod. "My mother is looking for you." Trunks turns back to Goten. "Besides, we have to pick
up Bra from kindergarden."
"Already?" Goten askes. Trunks gives a matter-of-fact type of nod. "All right," he sighs. Then he turn to me. "Guess
I'll see you later?"
I shrug, telling my own truth. The two of the them walk away and I watch them till they are out of sight. I stand
there for a few seconds, thinking. Thinking of when I would see them again. Thinking... who the hell is Bra? Finally, I shake
my head and walk into the house.

Gomen!! I know you all must of been waiting this... but me and my friend have been rather busy. . Plus we both
had a bit of writer's block. The next chapter should definitely be out sooner than this one got out. And I would really
really like to thank all of you reviewed! I was so supprised when so many reviewed saying they liked it. And well, just
thank you so much for reviewing! And please review this chapter as well. And the next chapter should have a bit more
of romance in it. *wink wink* ^_~
